Welcome to Tulsa Picks, your weekly compilation of Tulsa's best food, arts and music events, as picked by us, the staff of The Pickup. Let's get to it!

Pick Of The Week

Robert Ellis + Kalyn Fay
Saturday, January 25
8:00pm at Mercury Lounge, 1747 S. Boston Ave.

Nobody's doing it like singer-songwriter/guitarist/"Texas Piano Man" Robert Ellis. NPR has hailed his “musical daring and impeccable songcraft,” Rolling Stone praised his “sharp eye for storytelling,” and the New York Times lauded his writing as an emotional “gut punch.” Here's your chance to see what new genius he's activated since The Pickup's Becky Carman reviewed his last show in Tulsa in 2023.
